stress with the band

[tlag]

I've heard people on here talk about how stress tightens the band, but I never really knew if it was true for me. The other day at work a

stressful situation came up right before lunch. I felt myself getting stressed but did not think much about my band. I tried to eat lunch and boy was that a mistake. A few hours later when things worked out, like they usually do, I tried eating some yogurt, that would not even go down. I was totally shocked. It's amazing what stress can do, WOW.

Oh stress is awful! Sometimes the kids stress me out so badly that I can't eat dinner with them at the table. I eat by myself when I can relax or I am running to the sink to PB! Luckily it doesn't last very long before I can get the stress under control!

It's sooo true! Stress / Drama are huge factors for me.. if something is upsetting me then it will always end in a PB episode. It really does play a big part.

I too know this feeling! I was shocked too. When I get stressed that lump comes back in my throat... hate it!
